Capcom has announced a new Resident Evil Code Veronica remake set to launch in 2027, and it could be out before March.

Resident Evil Veronica was announced at this year's Summer Game Fest, confirming recent rumors and reports. While Capcom didn't share specific details on the new project, the short 3-minute trailer showcased the graphical fidelity and prowess of the RE Engine, dramatically overhauling the original Dreamcast SD game to a 4K-ready thriller.

Capcom recently confirmed it had more unannounced projects to launch in its FY26 timeline, and Resident Evil Veronica is a big one. There's a chance that Veronica could slip outside of the fiscal, but if it doesn't, the game should launch between January and March 2027. This is a favored launch timing for Capcom and the company routinely releases big games during the early calendar year months.

RE Veronica will release on all platforms, including consoles, PC, and even the Nintendo Switch 2, as Capcom is trying to meet an ambitious 65 million game sales target for this fiscal year.

The Resident Evil series recently broke 200 million sales, and more than half of Capcom's mighty 59 million sales made during FY25 were in the RE franchise, with Resident Evil 9 leading the pack with over 7 million sales in less than 3 months.

The original Code Veronica starred Chris and Claire Redfield as they tried to survive a viral outbreak in the Southern hemisphere, from a prison island to a remote Antarctic research facility.

Expect Capcom to reveal more details in the coming months, possibly with a full-on showcase at The Game Awards 2026 in December.
